Amlou
- Blanched almonds, skinned and roasted 225g

Roasted peaches
- Castor sugar 200g
- Water 45ml
- Butter 50g

Instructions
Grind the almonds in a food processor to a coarse grain.
Remove the almonds from the food processor and place in a mixing bowl.
Slowly stir in the argan oil (1 tablespoon at a time).
Stir in the honey (1 tablespoon at a time).
Pre-heat the oven to 150°C.
Put 150g sugar and the water in a pan and heat gently to create a caramel, about 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat, add the butter, peach juice and the vanilla. Return to the heat briefly to integrate the sugar and juice mixture.
Coat the peaches in the remaining sugar to ensure that they are completely covered.
Add the peach halves to the pan and cook for 2 minutes on each side. Then place the pan in the oven and roast for 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven. Add the amlou to the centre of each peach.
Drizzle with the caramel and peach juice sauce and serve with almond cream.
